There are 5 pieces of information acquired from the Slope Intercept Form y = mx+b
  1. y-Intercept (0,b) or (0, y) where y=b. {This is the starting point}
  2. Slope, m.
  3. The Rise
  4. Go Up if Positive or (-) Go Down if Negative
  5. The Run {always go right, regardless of sign}

The Inequality Symbol ( > , < , > , < ) provides 2 more peices of information
  1. Type of Line: Solid ( > , < ) {Includes} or Dotted ( > , < ) {Excludes}
  2. Shading Above {Greater than} or Below {Less than} the Line
